Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Nuclear equation:
²¹⁴₈₂Pb → ₂He⁴ + ²¹⁰₈₀Hg
The given equation is balanced. It shows the emission of alpha particle which is helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.
Properties of alpha radiation:
Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei.
Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.
These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.
These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.
These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy
Answer:
500 years
Explanation:
The original carbon-14 was 100%, and after 100 years, it decays 1.202%. So after 100 years it goes to 98.798%, after more 100 years (200 years), it will be 97.596% (98.798 - 1.202), thus, after n 100 years "package", the percenatge will be:
100% - actual% = n*1.202
n = (100% - actual%)/1.202
n = (100% - 94%)/1.202
n = 4.992
So, the number of years is n*100 = 4.992*100 = 499.2 ≅ 500 years.

Mg replaces the H in HCl to become MgCl2.
Answer:
1. Ice at 0 degrees C.
2. N₂ at STP.
3. N₂ at STP.
4. Water vapor at 150 degrees C and 1 atm.
Explanation:
First, we need to remember that entropy (S) is a <em>measure of how spread out or dispersed the energy of a system is among the different possible ways that system can contain energy</em>. The greater the dispersal, the greater is the entropy.
When the temperature is increased, the energies associated with all types of molecular motion increase. Consequently, the entropy of a system always increases with increasing temperature.
With this in mind, we consider the pairs:
1. Since the ice at 0ºC has a greater temperature than the ice at -40 ºC, the first has the higher entropy.
2. The N₂ at STP (that is, 1 atm and 25 ºC) has higher entropy than N₂ at 0ºC and 10 atm because it has a higher temperature and less pressure, which allows a greater dispersal of energy by the molecules of the gas.
3. The N₂ at STP has a higher entropy since it has a higher temperature than N₂ at 0ºC, even though it the first has a lower volume (24,4 L vs. 50 L).
4. The water vapor at 150 ºC and 1 atm have a higher temperature and a lower pressure. This means that its molecules will have an increased molecular motion than the molecules of water vapor at a lower temperature and higher pressure. Therefore, the first has the highest entropy.
